Benedict's solution is used to test for simple carbohydrates. Benedict'ssolution is a blue colored liquid that contains copper ions. When Benedict'ssolution and simple carbohydrates are heated, the solution changes to orange red/ brick red.

A chemical test for starch is to add iodine solution (red) and see if it turns blue/black in colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from other carbohydrates using this iodine solution test. For example, if iodine is added to an peeled potato then it will turn black.
